Department Context
A&R
↑ NORTH STAR 1

Isaia writes and produces his own music — W.T.A. was solely written and produced by him. His creative vision is deeply conceptual; CONCUBANIA was structured as a three-act play. Guide the Mr. Lovebomb rollout around that storytelling instinct. The feature with kwn on W.T.A. is his first RCA release collaboration. He builds projects fast (2-3 days for the bones of a full project) but with clear intention.

Signing A&R: Chloe Mezek
A&R Admin

Self-produced artist simplifies some admin workflows but introduces others — confirm whether Isaia is furnishing masters or recording through RCA. W.T.A. features kwn, so a side artist agreement is needed for that track. Delivery schedule confirmed via BA at signing.

Business & Legal

Signed via Slang (JV structure). Deal points distributed to relevant departments at signing. Note: Isaia has a pre-existing catalog (CONCUBANIA, August 2025) — confirm whether previous masters are part of the RCA deal or remain independent.

Marketing
↑ NORTH STAR 1 + 2

North Star 1 is the marketing foundation — defining who Isaia is for the audience. His story has rich material: Baptist church upbringing, self-taught across instruments and production, NYC relocation, conceptual album-making. Audience skews 57% female, 25-34, with strong US base (56%) and notable Philippines/UK presence. His fan base description — "from core R&B purists to the girls who want to date him" — suggests dual audience lanes. Creative strategy is being finalized; timeline and content plan pending approval.

Marketing Lead: Jourdan Washington
Digital / DSP
↑ NORTH STAR 2

Isaia has active profiles across all major platforms with an existing listener base (375.5K Spotify monthly listeners). W.T.A. is already live across DSPs with a multi-link and YouTube visualizer. The COLORS performance of "I CHOOSE YOU" continues to gain organic traction. Profile ownership and Content ID need to transfer to RCA infrastructure. Top streaming cities: LA, NY, London, Chicago, Atlanta.

Publicity
↑ NORTH STAR 1 + 3

Strong existing press infrastructure. Bobby Carter (NPR) is an early champion. COLORS performance provides a marquee visual credential. The narrative angle is compelling — pastor's son discovers secular music late, self-teaches production on a cruise, builds conceptual albums in days. He already has tastemaker co-signs (Alaysia Sierra, Brandon Payano) and every major R&B culture page. The story practically writes itself for a profile piece.

Publicity: Amanda Zimmerman
Radio

Development tier — radio strategy should follow streaming and press traction rather than lead. Sound fits Urban/R&B format but with alt-soul and indie textures that could cross over. Monitor W.T.A. performance data and audience reaction before committing to add dates.

Creative & Content
↑ NORTH STAR 1

Existing visual collaborator: Jack Peros (photography for W.T.A. and press). Isaia already has visual assets from CONCUBANIA and the W.T.A. visualizer. His work is conceptual and narrative-driven, which should inform visual identity — he thinks in albums and acts, not singles. Creative strategy is being finalized with the team.

International
↑ NORTH STAR 3

Notable international signal: 44% of listeners are outside the US, with Philippines at 7.8% and London in his top 5 cities. For a development-tier artist, that international spread is unusual and worth monitoring. UK and Southeast Asia could be early markets for targeted support as the rollout scales.

Brand Partnerships
↑ NORTH STAR 2 + 3

Early stage for major deals, but the "Tiny Little Tour" creates activation opportunities. His aesthetic — R&B meets alt-soul, church-rooted but fashion-forward — appeals to lifestyle and culture brands. Map alignment categories now so the team is ready when the moment comes. His dual audience (R&B purists + broader appeal) widens the brand fit.

Sync & Licensing
↑ NORTH STAR 3

Strong sync candidate. His sound — warm, textured R&B with indie production — fits film, TV, and premium ad placements. Self-produced tracks may simplify some clearance workflows. CONCUBANIA's three-act structure and emotional range give supervisors a versatile catalog to pull from. The COLORS performance is a strong visual proof point for pitching. Note that he's signed via Slang, so confirm the clearance pathway and approval chain for sync placements through the JV structure.

Finance

Development tier with JV structure (Slang). Deal terms distributed at signing via BA template. Multi-release pipeline: single already live, additional singles planned, album in 2026. Tour announced ("Tiny Little Tour") — budget implications for tour support if applicable.

Release Planning / Ops
↑ NORTH STAR 2

W.T.A. is live (Feb 13). Additional singles planned with album Mr. Lovebomb targeted for 2026. Timeline and content plan are pending creative approval — once confirmed, establish Release Runway project and delivery cadence. Self-produced artist may affect Atmos/360RA workflow decisions.
